Pesticide Composition

Abstract

Stable non-toxic pesticide composition having fungicidal and insecticidal properties including a pesticide that is nontoxic to mammals; one or more disinfectants; a vegetable oil; and one or more stabilizing agents. In one example, one or more stabilizing agents are selected and are present in an amount in combination with the selection and amount of a pesticide, one or more disinfectants, and a vegetable oil to provide the composition with a stability upon application to a substrate effective to allow lethality against one or more target pests.

         2 . A composition according to  claim 1 , wherein said chitin skeleton destructive capability is due, at least in part, to a chitin skeleton destructive compound. 
     
     
         3 . A composition according to  claim 2 , wherein said chitin skeleton destructive compound destabilizes one or more poly-n-acetylglucosamine structures of a chitin skeleton. 
     
     
         4 . A composition according to  claim 2 , wherein said chitin skeleton destructive compound includes a reaction product of coconut fatty acids with diethanolamide. 
     
     
         5 . A composition according to  claim 4 , wherein said chitin skeleton destructive compound and said one or more disinfectants each include a reaction product of coconut fatty acids with diethanolamide. 
     
     
         6 . A composition according to  claim 1 , wherein the composition achieves at least about 100% effectiveness in lethality against one or more target pests at about 1 hour after application. 
     
     
         7 . A composition according to  claim 1 , further comprising
 one or more carboxylic acids.   
     
     
         8 . A composition according to  claim 7 , wherein said one or more disinfectants includes hydrogen peroxide. 
     
     
         9 . A composition according to  claim 7 , wherein said one or more disinfectants includes a reaction product of coconut fatty acids with diethanolamide. 
     
     
         10 . A composition according to  claim 7 , wherein said one or more carboxylic acids includes:
 sorbic acid;   ascorbic acid; and   peracetic acid.   
     
     
         11 . A composition according to  claim 1 , comprising geraniol, PEG-20 glyceryl-oleoricinoleate, the reaction product of coconut fatty acids with diethanolamide, isooctylsufosuccinate, and soybean oil. 
     
     
         12 . A composition according to  claim 11 , comprising:
 10-30 wt. % geraniol;   5-25 wt. % PEG-20 glyceryl-oleoricinoleate;   20-40 wt. % of a reaction product of coconut fatty acids with a diethanolamide;   10-30 wt. % isooctyl-sulfosucchinate; and   1-20 wt. % soybean oil.   
     
     
         13 . A composition according to  claim 12 , comprising:

         14 . A composition according to  claim 1 , comprising:
 5-15 wt. % geraniol;   2.5-12.5 wt. % PEG-20 glyceryl-oleoricinoleate;   10-20 wt. % of the reaction product of coconut fatty acids with diethanolamide;   5-15 wt. % isooctyl-sulfosucchinate;   0.5-10 wt. % soybean oil;   2.5-12.5 wt. % H 2 O 2 ;   0.05-2.5 wt. % Sorbic acid;   0.15-5 wt. % Ascorbic acid; and   0.1-3.725 wt. % Peracetic acid.   
     
     
         15 . A composition according to  claim 1 , wherein said composition retains stability of lethal effectiveness against one or more target pests for at least about 25 days. 
     
     
         16 . A composition according to  claim 1 , wherein said composition retains stability of 100% lethal effectiveness against one or more target pests for at least about 10 days. 
     
     
         17 . A stable non-toxic pesticide composition having fungicidal and insecticidal properties, the composition comprising:
